In the small Wisconsin town of Blue River, secrets run deep. And for Henry Howland, high school principal and repressive moral beacon of his community, they are about to explode in a shocking series of events that will sha... more &raquotter the smooth surface of his life forever. Because when Howland seduces and abandons fragile single-mother Mrs. Sellers, her hot-tempered but wildly brilliant son Lawrence begins a systematic campaign to repay him in kind, striking out at his softest spots, destroying him bit-by-bit. And when a young boy is unjustly accused of setting a rash of mysterious fires, the tragic results burn away at the hypocrisy one man used to hold a community hostage - and ignite the truth that will set a troubled family free.

A very interesting watch

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I saw this yesterday on cable and really liked it - Great plot, with some surprises along the way. Does Jerry O'Connell remind anyone else of a young Patrick Swayze? He's actually an excellent actor. And Sam Elliot, well what can you say about him?
